Lower limb rehabilitation exoskeleton robots (LLRERs) play a positive role in lower limb
rehabilitation and assistance for patients with lower limb disorders, and they are helpful to …

Exoskeleton technology has made significant advances during the last decade, resulting in
a considerable variety of solutions for gait assistance and rehabilitation. The mechanical …

Despite the increasing interest in using powered ankle-foot orthoses for assistive purposes,
their development and benchmarking still present core challenges. Powered orthoses have …

BACKGROUND: With the increasing rate of ambulatory disabilities and rise in the elderly
population, advance methods to deliver the rehabilitation and assistive services to patients …

Background In the last decades, several powered ankle-foot orthoses have been developed
to assist the ankle joint of their users during walking. Recent studies have shown that the …

Exoskeletons have shown their ability to assist locomotion and augment human
performances. However, the benefits of wearing these devices depend on how effectively …

Powered ankle exoskeletons (PAEs) are robotic devices developed for gait assistance,
rehabilitation, and augmentation. To fulfil their purposes, PAEs vastly rely heavily on their …

Motor weakness at the ankle joint is a major contributor to locomotor deficits in stroke, as the
ankle provides the largest propulsive moment during walking, compared to the knee and the …

This paper deals with the control of an active ankle foot orthosis (AAFO) for paretic patients.
State of the art methods using an AAFO try to track a predefined trajectory of the ankle joint …

Designing robotic devices to assist or emulate the ankle is challenging due to the joint's
complexity and the fundamental role in walking. T-FLEX is an ankle exoskeleton based on …
